Jury awards former UC San Diego doctor $39 million in whistleblower, retaliation suit [Breaking]
A San Diego jury on Wednesday awarded more than $39.5 million to an oncologist who accused UC San Diego of retaliation after a battle that started over where to steer a $10 million donation for cancer research.
The competing lawsuits from Murphy, 55, and the University of California Regents were combined into one trial. The trial ran roughly eight weeks. The jury reached its verdict in less than a day. “The misconduct of the Regents was so open and obvious that it didn’t take the jury very long to figure it out,” Quiqley said.Murphy, a radiation oncologist who specializes in nervous system and brain tumors, had been a professor and vice chair of the UC San Diego School of Medicine’s Department of Radiation Medicine & Applied Sciences. He joined the school in 2005.
In case filings, Murphy asserted Kreutzkamp believed in Murphy’s research. Murphy said he had directed Kreutzkamp to steer the donation toward Murphy’s work at the Moore’s Cancer Center.
